China unveils new high-speed trains with fold-up beds and WiFi!

CRH5E-The newest member of China high speed train family

Panda Train

The new trains have been nicknamed "Pandas", not because they're fat and slow (and don't know how to get laid), but due to the black and white design of the vehicles nose. As the front part of the train appears almost to have two black eyes, fans call the CRH5E the "Panda."

SO WHAT'RE THE FEATURES OF THE NEW TRAINS?

Run In Extreme Cold

CRH5E trains are developed to function in extreme cold down to minus 40 degrees Celsius, (-40℃) with a speed of 250 kilometers per hour. The high speed trains can run from northeast China down to Shenzhen in south China regardless of the huge temperature fluctuation.

Fold-up Beds

Thirteen of the 16 carriages feature the fold up beds that can be stored away during the daytime. The seats are also equipped with a backrest, armrests and cup holders in order to maximize passengers' comfort.

Wifi and USB Ports

More importantly, the compartments are equipped with WiFi.

USB ports are under the bed light. Each compartment has four power sockets.

Sound-proofing

According to the manager, the train has sound proofing and vibration damping systems. They can reduce noise inside the train cars to 65 decibels when the train runs at a maximum speed of 250 km per hour.
